convertquota converts old quota files
quota.user and
quota.group to files
aquota.user and
aquota.group in new
format currently used by 2.4.0-ac? and newer or by SuSE or Red Hat Linux 2.4
kernels on
filesystem.
New file format allows using quotas for 32-bit uids / gids, setting quotas for
root, accounting used space in bytes (and so allowing use of quotas in
ReiserFS) and it is also architecture independent. This format introduces
Radix Tree (a simple form of tree structure) to quota file.
- -u, --user
- convert user quota file. This is the default.
- -g, --group

- -f, --convert-format oldformat,newformat

format).
